Miriam Sawan is a former television producer turned media advisor who has worked for some of Australia’s biggest television networks. As a journalist, she always wanted her stories to mean something, and found purpose when she moved to a law firm that works on high profile social justice issues. In her new role as media advisor, she was suddenly exposed to many horrific accounts of workplace bullying and was fueled to write a novel that will resonate with people's office experiences globally.

While she can’t tell client stories, writing Louboutins, Lattes & Live TV is her way to “empower young people in the workplace to stand up for themselves and nip nastiness in the bud.” As for any bullies who read her book, she hopes they’ll learn “to change their ways.”
